A Visit by Two Former Students

Today was definitely a better day than yesterday.  I felt better from the beginning and saw that my brain was mostly sunny and clear instead of cloudy with a chance of rain.  In an hour or so Javier arrives, and this will be the first time I've seen him since I saw him off on November 3!  Tomorrow Jonathan arrives.   So this is going to be a very nice holiday (in spite of leftover work I have to do).  But this morning was made really special by the visit of two former students who were waiting for me at Bungalow 707, where I teach on Tuesday mornings.  They greeted me with hugs and a bag full of presents.  (I haven't yet opened the presents, but I sent them a thank you note before posting them here!)

It's funny, but by chance I was wearing the second outfit that Linh has ever liked!  She has some kind of outfit in design, and she praised me as she did several weeks ago for wearing colors that go really well toether.  Apparently I rarely do that!  I'm so glad I did this morning.
